Fantastic food and atmosphere, service was impeccable. A place that was very upscale, much appreciated and hard to find in Roanoke area. Most places in Roanoke area might have good food, atmosphere nice, but the customers come dressed from very nice to jeans and tee shirts. My husband and I enjoy having an elegant dinner with the atmosphere to match. This is the restaurant for just that!

The food and service are exceptional at Alexander’s. From having our coats checked upon entering the restaurant to attentive servers all evening. My companion had veal and I had corvina. Both dishes were amazing with excellent presentation. The wine list, while not extensive, was solid and we enjoyed a wonderful Pinot noir. The deserts were amazing as well, with the house dessert being like a hot fudge sundae with candied walnuts. A great restaurant that I would highly recommend.

Saturday night 7:30 on Nov 10, 2018 for my wife's birthday. Our son came down from northern VA for the weekend and we had hiked to the Cascade Falls (Pembroke VA) earlier in the day so we were ready for a fine meal. I brought a bottle of a favorite Champagne (Perrier Jouet Grand Brut) as it was my wife's birthday, and I happily paid the $25 corking fee but saved about $50 overall compared to restaurant champagne prices. The server was timely and extremely friendly and we enjoyed the chilled to 50F bubbly before and during our dinner. A second waitress cheerfully helped us with our dinner menu selections, she was well informed and clearly a happy, educated person who enjoyed fine food. Shortly after placing our order,we were served our delicious but light dinner salads and warmed French-style sourdough bread. Perfect with graceful champagne. After our salad plates were cleared and the white tablecloth was decrumbed, our main courses were served. I had the quail with couscous and sauteed cranberries (OMG!), my son had the rack of (Colorado) lamb (OMG!) and my wife had the Crucian fish (very good). We all shared our food with each other and we had wonderful conversations with our son. The modern and well chosen paintings and huge mirrors on the walls blend perfectly with the beautiful chandelier type lights and upscale (not hipster) refined ambiance. We finished our meal with Red Rooster (Floyd VA) dark roasted coffee which was of course very good. As usual, we skip desserts in the constant effort to maintain some semblance of healthy able-bodied figures! Overall, we had an excellent and memorable experience as per usual with Alexander's, consistently the overall best restaurant in the Roanoke Valley. We'll be back!

Per Open Table we requasted a quiet location. On arrival the hostess told us she had a quiet alcove for us. That set the tone. It was low noise and we could talk comfortably. The table was nicely set with white linen tablecloths. Service was immediately and consistently present without being intrusive, and this on a fairly busy Saturday night. Bread arrived promptly after we ordered drinks and the entree arrived at just the right time. We both had the lamb ragu which was delicious - tender lamb with a just nicely seasoned sauce.- one of the best meals we have had in some time. The decor was warm and sophisticated. Prices were not inexpensive but I felt entirely reasonable in context. Alexanders is a wonderful restaurant and we enthusiastically recommend it.

My husband and I were in town just for the night and wanted a great steak. So we looked up Garden and Gun's list of what to do in Roanoke and this was the top of the list. So we made a reservation, we went at 9pm, so on the later side, but the service was impeccable and the food was lovely. Highly recommend!

The menu had a wide selection and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Our waitress gave us plenty of time to enjoy cocktails. The noise level is moderate which is perfect for fun conversation.

Alexanders is consistently superb. Delicious food and excellent service. No finer spot in our area. They have created high expectations from our past wonderful dining experiences. Once again those expectations were met or exceeded!

I had requested a quiet table for our anniversary dinner. We had the best table in a private alcove to enjoy the amazing food, drinks, and exceptional service. We used to go to Stephen's when they were open but this is hands down our new favorite restaurant in Roanoke. I cannot say enough good things in one review.

My daughter took me there for my birthday and the food was wonderful. It was nice to spend the evening with some wonderful food and my daughter. I would definitely recommend this gem. The desserts were amazing as well.

Always a pleasure to visit and the perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary with son and daughter-in-law. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel like family. And, of course, the food is exceptional. Two of us enjoyed the Salmon/Scallop/Shrimp dish and we were extremely happy with our choice. One Lamb Ragu was a big hit and the Pork Chop got rave reviews.

For any special occasion - or for no occasion at all - it's our absolute favorite restaurant in Roanoke.

We’ve been frequenting Alexander’s for at least 20-plus years. Always wonderful. Food and service near perfect. We love this restaurant and are lucky that a spot of this caliber (best in the region) is here in our small town.

A favorite for decades. I travel extensively in US and other countries and have occasion to dine at many fine restaurants. This remains a favorite of both my wife and me when we are anywhere near Roanoke. Owners are on site and our favorite server Bijorn was still there (trust his recommendations). This is a real jewel for Roanoke and we can’t wait to go back!
